    Holders of Ministerial Office in the Conservative Governments 1979-1997 Parliamentary Information List Standard Note: SN/PC/04657 Last updated: 11 March 2008 Author: Department of Information Services All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this data. Nevertheless the complexity of Ministerial appointments, changes in the machinery of government and the very large number of Ministerial changes between 1979 and 1997 mean that there may be some omissions from this list. Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 1997 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 2 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given. The Parliamentary Information List series covers various topics relating to Parliament; they include Bills, Committees, Constitution, Debates, Divisions, The House of Commons, Parliament and procedure. Also available: Research papers – impartial briefings on major bills and other topics of public and parliamentary concern, available as printed documents and on the Intranet and Internet. Standard notes – a selection of less formal briefings, often produced in response to frequently asked questions, are accessible via the Internet. Guides to Parliament – The House of Commons Information Office answers enquiries on the work, history and membership of the House of Commons. It also produces a range of publications about the House which are available for free in hard copy on request Education web site – a web site for children and schools with information and activities about Parliament.

    The London Elections Media Briefing Pack 11th April, 2012 Tony Travers, Director of LSE London, London School of Economics Patrick Dunleavy, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, London School of Economics Tel: 020 7330 9289 Email: [email protected] [email protected] The London Election 2012 Tony Travers, Director of LSE London, London School of Economics & Political Science 07958 005 078 (Mobile) or 020 7955-7777 (LSE) [email protected] 1. Background The 2012 London elections will be the fourth contest for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The size of the capital (8 million) and the scale of its electorate make it a major prize for the leading political parties on each occasion it is fought. The Mayor has a massive personal mandate which has been shown to extend beyond the services for which the Greater London Authority is formally responsible. Ken Livingstone (who had been leader of the predecessor Greater London Council from 1981 to 1986) has fought all four elections, in 2000 as an Independent and in 2004, 2008 and 2012 for Labour. Steven Norris represented the Conservatives in 2000 and 2004, with Boris Johnson being candidate in 2008 and this year. Brian Paddick represented the Liberal Democrats in both 2008 and 2012. The London Mayor and Assembly elections were intended to produce more plural (some would say representative) results. But, as in Scotland, where the Scottish National Party has won a Parliamentary majority in a system with proportional representation, experiments with new voting systems can produce unexpected outcomes.

  • Jubilee Greenway Walk Section 8 PDF 2.00MB
    Transport for London. The Jubilee Greenway. Section 8 of 10. Tower Bridge to Westminster Bridge. Section start: Tower Bridge. Nearest stations London Bridge . to start: Section finish: Westminster Bridge. Nearest stations Westminster or Westminster Pier . to finish: Section distance: 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometres). Introduction. The pulse of urban London quickens again as you begin section eight. Hugging the South Bank, it links no less than eight landmark bridges and is a hub of cultural centres, including the Globe Theatre, South Bank Centre, Tate Modern and several famous museums. The route continues to follow the same route as the Thames Path and now also joins the original route of the Jubilee Walkway, as well as The Queen's Walk, which was fully opened in 1994. It is now possible to walk from Tower Bridge to Lambeth, only leaving the riverside briefly at Southwark. After passing through a number of riverside boroughs, the walker is now in a heavily built-up part of London, with many magnificent landmarks in view. The Thames is crossed by numerous bridges. As you walk you will be able to enjoy the skyline of London which has changed dramatically in the last half century, and continues to change from year to year, particularly along this section of the Thames. Look out for the Jubilee Greenway discs in the pavement as you go round. Directions Starting at Tower Bridge (on the south side of the Thames, with Tower Bridge itself on the right), walk along the promenade which is The Queen's Walk towards the peculiar egg-shaped glass building - this is City Hall, home of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

    06 Book reviews (JB/D) 31/1/02 8:37 am Page 237 PARTY POLITICS VOL 8. No.2 pp. 237–249 Copyright © 2002 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi BOOK REVIEWS Kevin J. Middlebrook, Conservative Parties, the Right and Democracy in Latin America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. $59.95 (hbk); $21.00 (pbk), xv + 391 pp. ISBN 0 8018 6385 6; 0 8018 6386 4. This edited volume fills a gap in the current literature on political parties in Latin America. While the significance of parties of the Right has long been known, no systematic study has been undertaken. Middlebrook has assembled an impres- sive set of experts on the given cases of Argentina (Borón), Brazil (Mainwaring, Menguello and Power), Chile (Garrretón), Colombia (Dugas), El Salvador (Wood), Peru (Conaghan) and Venezuela (Coppedge). The chapters are segmented into examining cases with established conservative parties (Chile, Colombia and Venezuela) and those with newer parties of the Right. In addition to the case-studies, a useful statistical appendix with electoral data from the 1980s and 1990s is included. The book has four main goals: to explain the variation in electoral performance of parties of the Right; to understand the importance of long-term conservative party success or failure to democratiz- ation in the 1980s and 1990s; to investigate the relative significance of party- based representation of the Right versus other types of institutional power; and to inquire as to the current state and ongoing evolution of conservative parties in the region. The project defines ‘conservative parties’ as ‘parties whose constituencies are upper social and economic strata but that mobilize multiclass support in a common political project’ (p.
